CEDAR email: Frontiers Special Issue on Quasilinear and Nonlinear Wave-Particle Interactions in Magnetospheric Plasmas

[Xiaojia Zhang]

Dear CEDAR community,

The special issue of Frontiers on “Quasilinear and Nonlinear Wave-Particle Interactions in Magnetospheric Plasmas” is now open for submissions at https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/32721/ <https://www.frontiersin.org/research-topics/32721/>
 

In this Research Topic we invite observational, theoretical, and numerical studies that contribute to quantify, model, and understand the importance of nonlinear wave-particle interactions. This research topic aims to bring together recent advances on:

• Ground- or space-based instruments that analyze dynamics and interactions of electromagnetic waves and/or charged particles

• Analytical calculations that directly consider theoretical treatments of wave-particle interactions relevant to magnetospheric space plasmas

• Numerical experiments such as test-particle, Fokker-Planck diffusion, particle-in-cell, hybrid, Vlasov, test-particle within global MHD, or others, that simulate fine-scale wave-particle interaction and/or the global modelling approach

• Observational studies, theoretical calculations, and numerical experiments that utilize and present results relevant to the quasilinear and/or nonlinear interpretations of wave-particle interactions

• Wave-particle interactions; precipitation, loss, and microbursts; pitch-angle scattering, acceleration; radial transport; diffusion and drift/advection.

• Quasilinear diffusion and nonlinear dynamics (phase bunching, trapping, non-diffusive shock driven acceleration, and statistical descriptions of these)


Papers can be submitted to either Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Science or Frontiers in Physics. The nominal submission deadline is June 30, 2022.


We look forward to your contributions!
